Exclamation Side Engine Mount Carnage [pics]

I knew it was bad, but didn't know it was this bad. Morale of the story, if your dust cover is cracked.. replace it, now.

Also, if the side engine mount is this bad, you can imagine the rest.

not the worst i've seen. on my accord, the mount was completely torn to 2 pieces, so basically it was the same as no side mount.

How are the other mounts looking?? Like Transmission mounts, Front Motor mounts, and Rear Motor Mounts?

I haven't heard the front engine mount knock but I'm sure it's taken more than it's share of abuse. No vibration from the rear so I'll spare it. Upper trans mount will be replaced with front engine mount. The upper trans mount has some wear and tear but doesn't look as bad as I've seen from other members.

If the rear one is bad when would you feel the vibration during acceleration or just idling?

My side mount came out in 2 pieces. Did all mounts. It feels like a new car. I did the side mount on the fiancées Murano because the engine moved enough to stretch the power steering hose and cause a leak. I've learned that whenever a chick complains that it feels like an old car or a "junky" car with no other description it's mounts or suspension.
